    Good video. A good practical demonstration of many varieties of shotgun. There’s a lot more to cover: gauges pros/cons; barrel length; tactical movement; shot placement; ammo types with pros/cons; accessories; etc. But this was a nice introduction to the shotgun — IMO the best defensive weapon (dollar for dollar) available.

    Had a 80 year old neighbor a few years ago shoot 2 robbers inside his home with a single barrel .410. One lived to stand trial, the other didn’t. ( The one who lived probably wishes he didn’t.)
